CHICAGO, ILL, April 6.-There was more
animation in wheat speculation to- day. Out
side buying orders were more numerous and
the "bulr' clique was again buying freely. The
cable advices quoted quiet and steady markets,
but the weather in the west and southwest was
reported as dry and unfavorable for growing
wheat. The California marketWas also repoft-
ed to be strong, and there was a decrease of
900 bushels of wheat on ocean passage.
Offerings were not very large and shorts feeling
uneasy regarding the situation, began to cover
freely. The market opened at S235c for May,
advanced steadily to $3.50, receded to SIC, but
rallied and closed at SIC, or lac higher than
on Monday. Corn was fairly active and firmer,
